May 1584 CE
The Earl of Mar, after a brief seizure of Stirling Castle in the hope of prompting English intervention, is forced to flee to England, where he receives the backing of Queen Elizabeth.
Hilliard designs and engraves Elizabeth’s second Great Seal of England in 1584.
The oldest extant accounts of Madog Ab Owain Gwynedd, the legendary twelfth century voyager to America, are in Richard Hakluyt's Voyages (1582) and David Powel's The Historie of Cambria (1584).
Hakluyt believed Madog had landed in Florida.
